rushing and radiant rivers of the west;
from the long line of coast, where sounds
forever the thunder Of the sleepless deep;
from her vast and silent plains, and
from the higher wilds of my own home,

SENATOR M'DoNALD'S SPEECH.
Senator Mcdonald said: MIR. Presi-
dent-I rise for the purpose of seconding
the nomination of Mr.. Samuel B. MaXey.
Having known him intimately for more
than twenty years as friend and fellow
townsman, may be permitted to speak
something of that private life which, in
certain sense is the property of his neigh
Dor, as his public career is the property
of his country. Samuel B. MaXey, in tie
war between the states, went to the front,
and no Drawer or better soldier ever trod
the perilous edge of battle. Returning to
his home, after the cause for which
he had fought had gone down
in blood and in tears, he
walked with his people and at their head
through the dark valley of the shadow of
reconstruction. He has been honored,
it is true, but he has executed his great
trust with commanding ability and con-
spiCuous faithfulness. In his high place
he never forgot that he was the servant
OF the people, and yet in the presence of
power he has been the self-respecting
Senator who would not fatter Neptune
for his trident nor Jove for his power to
thunder. Elect him again to this high
Office and the full measure OF fidelity IN
the past will give ample assurance for
the future
SENATOR LAHE's SPEECH.

the name Of Reagan, and recounted his
repeated and continuous services in Off
cial position. He laid stress on Mr..
Reagan's services in the matter of the

SENATOR POPE's SPEECH.
Senator Pope, in nominating ex-Gover-
nor Ireland, said when John Ireland came
TO the state Of Texas thirty-five years
ago, he was an humble citizen and an OBJ
scure man. 1t had not fallen to his lot to
acquire even what we term common
school education. He had not property,
he had not friends to help him along the
rood to fortune in his new home in the
west, bat he possessed that manly worth
and sterling integrity which remains with
him until this day, and has brought him
from obscurty step by step along the
pathway o. public life, filling with honor
all places of public trust conferred upon
him until he reached the highest
office within the gift OF the people OF
mis- state. 1t is not my purpose to pass
an eulogy upon the distinguished citizen
whose name l present to you. The life
of John Ireland is in happy harmony with |
the genius of our government. Coming |
called twice by the acclaim of the people |
10 De the chief magistrate of the state, an
honor and distinction done to none other !
IN The history of Texas, and whether we
view him SIS a private citizen or lawyer, |
as legislator or Judge, or as chief execu- |
tive, he demands our admiration as the |
same fearless, incorruptible man.
